miscarriage
by FLB
the baby’s soul was sam’s
somber silly sweet
when there was no heart
beat
i fell
to the ground
and wept
my sad eyed springer spaniel
tried to comfort me
i screamed and screamed
as if i’d lost
my love of life
i had
four years later
he came back
the same soul
i recognized
right away
he was ready
my dreaming
green eyed babe
he’d just needed time
i loved you
before i knew
and then we bled
away
do you need time
or were you never
never will be
mine

opalescent
fingernails
dig into
cream sheets
as
the alabaster
angel
hovers
cheeks pinched peach
wings soft white
playing a golden harp
i hear you
i hear your music
The above poems are powerful. (I’ve only read 2 so far). And this website is beautiful to behold.
